Why Doesn’t BuzzFeed Find Women Hot? BuzzFeed has no problem finding hot men for clicks. Why not women? by Mollie Hemingway.
BuzzFeed — or at least its Twitter feed — almost never finds women hot. …
I asked some friends why they think BuzzFeed always presents women as empowered queens while crowning various men the “hottest on planet earth” every few weeks. Mockable or not, it’s an important site — perhaps millennials’ most-favoritist-superlative-obsessed cultural agenda setter in the history of the world. …
I, too, assume that BuzzFeed employees are simply products of an educational system that pathologizes normal, healthy male sexual interest and teaches women that being noticed for beauty is patriarchal oppression.
In such an environment, objectifying men for their looks while pretending that people don’t care deeply about female beauty is a way of killing both birds with one cheaply thrown-together listicle.
It’s the PC crew fighting biology. The PC ideologues will lose eventually — they always do — but there will be casualties along the way.
